Participants may enter the competition as Individual Competitors, an Ensemble or Pas de Deux, either representing a company or school or as an independent performer. There are three competitive categories, and four age divisions, each with an individual performance fee. The participant’s appropriate division will be determined by their age as of January 18, 2023. Dancers applying in the Pas de Deux category must submit two individual applications, one for the male applicant and one for the female applicant. Please make sure to reference your partner’s name in the Partner Information section of the application. Competitors that enter in the Individual or Pas de Deux categories may also participate as part of an Ensemble. An Ensemble’s age division will be determined by the average age of the competitors.
